When I use many translations and choose which one sounds better to me I am not allowing the Holy Spirit to reveal the truth like Jesus said He would on John 14:26 & 16:13. If I get stuck on a verse I pray over that verse, not pick and choose which is more "accurate" or "right" to me. It is God that reveals truth, not our picking and choosing which decides it. Believe me I use to use no less than ten translations every time I attended bible study, but many times left more confused then when I came because of all the counterfeit translations. If everyone who professes the Name of Jesus prayed, studied and understood John 14-17 there would be one denomination and one bible translation.
This is a very important issue because I believe many people are leaving off Christianity because so many people are picking and choosing their own private interpretation they find throughout many different translations, which most of the time cannot be proven from one translation alone. We pick a verse from the KJV and another verse from the NASB, NIV, NLB...ETC. One major issue is when I try to find chain references which the KJV flows with the "modern" translations do not have them. I personally get offended when I am sitting in on a sermon and the pastor says to read along and starts reading from a foreign translation my mind goes somewhere else and I lose the blessing the Lord was trying to bestow. When that happens the translation might as well be in swahili because how can anybody understand, or keep their mind trained on a subject when all of a sudden everything shifts into confusion, and that is what happens when three or four people all read the same verse from different translations at the same time. Same principle.
